Carbon Advantage - Header
| Our Company |
| Carbon Advantage educates and shares information with you on the many different ways which you as an individual, your company or the organisation you are connected with can benefit,
financially and in other ways, by doing your part of the total global initiative to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions; so that our children and future generations do not have to inherit a world that is
grossly polluted; plagued by severe droughts and floods; and suffer the damaging consequences of global warming or climate change. |
| Our Aim |
| Carbon Advantage offers companies, the public sector,
private entities, educational and financial institutions a range of solutions
for optimising returns for projects that reduce GHG emissions.
We assist companies that intend to or are already involved in carbon reduction
activities or green projects such as Renewable Energy Technologies (RET's)
and forestry, to go through the necessary processes including rigorous validation that would
certify GHG reductions to become sellers of carbon credits, to help maximise their returns on investment
through the carbon trading route.
We assist companies in developed countries (known as Annex 1 countries under the Kyoto Protocol )
to meet their own GHG reduction targets by purchasing reductions in GHG emissions through the application of
RETs in conventional industries to become cost-conscious buyers of carbon credits. This GHG reduction
is known as Certified Emission Reduction (CERs).
We assist public sector entities and institutions (schools, colleges, universities)
to promote the need to get everyone involved in green projects to reduce GHG emissions,
now and in the future. |

| On July 2nd 2003, the European Union reached an agreement on the EU Emissions Trading Directive which set out to implement an emissions trading scheme throughout Europe with effect from 1st January 2005.
On July 23rd 2003, the draft EU Linking Directive
was published allowing emissions credits arising from the flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol to be allowed into the EU emissions trading scheme with effect from 2005 for Certified Emissions Reductions and 2008 for Emissions Reductions Units.
A number of other signatories to the Kyoto Protocol are preparing to implement emissions trading schemes like Canada, Japan and Singapore for example.. |
